A travelling Canadian who is maybe getting a little old for the backpacking scene. I am also an active member of (a synonym for sofa)surfing but I also like the idea of Airbnb (also maybe due to aging :).

I am quite independent. I'm sometimes an introvert, sometimes an extrovert. I like having a quiet night in by myself or having a big night out with friends.

I like to travel and experience different cultures and environments, although I don't always like the collateral damage that it causes as well. I am trying to figure out the balance.

I can only refer to my experience of hosting and being a guest on (a synonym for sofa)surfing, having done both many times. As a guest, I am flexible whether my host would like to socialize or not and always respect their space. As a host, I also try to be flexible with what my guests plan to do. I think those things are probably the key to being a good host or guest: flexibility and respect.

Reviews From Hosts

Gloria was easy to communicate with since she had to come at my place of work to pick up the keys. We liked our little chat with her discovering all the places she has been. She left our place tidy and clean :)

We know Gloria for many years now and we consider her a very good and dear friend. We can highly trust her and it's someone we are glad to have in our friendship circle in Geneva. She is really traveled and she can have tips from many places all over the globe and also the knowledge and respect for each culture. She's really easy going, down to earth, and always bring positivism to wherever she is in. We truly recommend anyone to meet Gloria!!

I know Gloria for a few years now. We also travelled once in Easter 2009 to Cinque Terra in Italy. We are boh couchsurfers. Gloria is definitely someone that you can trust, honest, respectful, and with a big experience of travels. You can definitely host her without any doubt !!!
